[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] There some posters on this thread who don't realize how the college admissions landscape has changed, and who don't understand that there are certain cut-off points in life that you don't want to miss. So then these posters resort to name-calling and pushing logic to the extreme, pretending we're saying that OP's kid is going to end up on the street. Of course he's not. But generally, yes, students need to be in advanced tracks by middle school to give themselves the best chance of success in high school, which ramps up rigor and workload significantly. This should NOT come as a surprise. It's why there are so many tracks in middle school. [/quote] Yes, it has changed, it’s bonkers. If OP’s kid is a white male he isn’t going to a top 25 anyway, it’s not the math keeping him out and if you have a white male son, it won’t get him in either.[/quote]
